7 Kansas IIS Partners KS Regional Extension Center KS Medicaid agency
KS Health Information Exchange (HIE) EHR Vendors

8 Regional Extension Centers
Provide training and support services to assist doctors and other providers in adopting EHRs Offer information and guidance to help with EHR implementation Give technical assistance as needed

9 HIE Implementation States submitted HIE-plan to ONC
Important that IIS be a stakeholder Participate as much as possible Make existing capabilities known Express future development plans

10 Kansas IIS: KSWebIZ ~1.9 million patients
Over 15 million vaccination events HL7 Interface Bi-directional, realtime since 2007 Direct Entry Web-enabled user interface over SSL. Vaccine inventory module Separate IIS devoted to meaningful use

12 HIE Considerations Meaningful use acceptable via HIE
ONC certified gateway One interface vs. interface per EP/EH Potential that HIE encompass a number of EHR vendors

13 HIE Considerations… Consent capturing Technical aspects
Are agreements in place? Technical aspects Exchange format? MPI/RLS participation?

15 Conclusion Understand meaningful use
Know details of IIS submission Establish communication with partners Medicaid Regional Extension Center EHR Vendors Participate in HIE efforts
